"Yeah, but you're not gonna get tips," Joey comments on the forty minute makeup job. Oh, l like him more every minute. He tells her he was only teasing, but that's it, now Insecuritee's offended. Sweetie pie Brawny tries to diffuse the situation by asking her if she gets a lot of creepers at Hooters, and she replies that the creepers become her favorites which pretty much makes her a creeper too. This chick is lost. I'd feel sorry for her but I really don't even have time for that either.
"They're harmless old guys," she simpers, "They just want someone to talk to." They want to bang you, Joey informs her. "It's not like that!" she exclaims. Oh really? They're old guys. You don't think they'd rather be slurping down some corn chowder at Souplantation? Let me tell you something sweetheart, the lady on soup duty with a husband on disability and a kid on meth has more sparkling wit than you. They're looking at your boobies. Own it or shut it.
Joey tells us how funny it is to him that girls like Insecuritee get so sensitive about working at Hooters. Me too! Keep giving her shit about it until she breaks. I know that's a mean wish, but in the end it will be character building. Insecuritee is naturally offended at Joey's opinion. "You're, like, not seeing where I'm, like, coming from," she whines. Then she tells us she doesn't think he should make her feel dumb for being a Hooters waitress. Please, he was making her feel dumb for a whole different reason.
That night, the boys go for a walk. And they want the dirt on Rihanna! They attack Derek, who wastes no time at all spilling that before she met her boyfriend she was a total slut. So catty! Never change, babe.
I find that shocking.
Derek tries to tell the boys that Rihanna's a good girl now, and she's not going to cheat, which only results in them making a 500 peso bet that she will. Joey suspects that CJ will be the winner, but nonetheless savors the idea of "committing the cheat AND winning 500 pesos". Well, good to have goals, I guess.
And then it's time for our first night out in Cancun! It's all the predictable high fiving, booty shaking and toasting of the first night out. Until Joey passes out in the club. Maybe he's a borg and he got shut down for the night. I'm all for a conspiracy theory. CJ the good guy takes him upstairs to the tune of Insecuritee waxing poetic about what a "gentleman" he is. Yeah, he's a total charmer til he does the other roommate. Then he's an asshole.
The rest of the roomies finish their night out while Joey naps away next to a clock that reads 9 p.m.. And it doesn't take long for tequila to claim its next victim as Brawny pukes all over CJ at the next venue. Gosh, it is hard not to like CJ. Who lets you puke on them and isn't even mean about it?
Friends forever.
They head back to the house where they continue to run around drunk. Rihanna runs through the house naked on the bottom, because she's very serious about staying faithful to Boyfriend. Brawny accepts a sandwich from Rihanna's gay bestie / mortal enemy Derek and tells him how hot he thinks she is. "It's only our first night," counsels Derek drunkenly. I hope Rihanna really is that slutty.
The next morning we find out that CJ has a girl back home too! I missed that somewhere. Her name's Danielle, and she's older than him and therefore does not put up with any petty nonsense. Which is evident by the fact that she cooks him breakfast every morning because he tells her he doesn't know how. CJ eats about fourteen eggs for breakfast, by the way.
They head out to the beach for the day, and Joey kind of veers from endearingly weird to uncomfortably weird when he pays $100 for the dirty model head that the hair braiding lady on the beach uses to exhibit her work. He names her Lupe. None of the roomies appreciate the purchase, and I'm not really sure why we had to watch it.
Not a great idea to walk around Mexico with a decapitated head these days. People might get the wrong idea.

Fastest recap evah??
Thank you for getting me up to date, haven't watched the show yet......
Wow, a Mexico resort town and these fools?
Hilariosity is bound to ensue... ( at least in these recaps I am sure!)
Loved it!

You generally don't like short people?

I'm sure CJ has completly blown his chance now of getting into the NFL. Because what every NFL team wants is a player who spends his off season being filmed by MTV getting trashed and hooking up with girls instead of conditioning and training.

"Although she does admit to the whole Napoleon complex, and I respect that cause although I'm not short, I'm definitely a dictator. "
: ) so funny

Yeah...explain why you don't like short people. Do you know what we (short people) have to go through to post a comment? I have to jump from key to key just to spell ONE word.
Moving on. I don't like that way young American tourists treat Mexico. I mean no one would go out and puke in public were they in Paris (France, that is). Of couse they puke if they were in Paris Hitlon. Usually the country is treated like a trash can.
I live in a border town and when I used to go down to the clubs down there, man those kids didn't give a f...care.
Besides, isn't anyone scared of all the kidnappings/killings down there? Some bad peeps are bound to think that MTV would pay a pretty penny for a liquored up/drugged up "bro" from the USA.

aaaaand does anyone elsed think they moved the show down there because legal drinking age is 18? This way the cast can be younger and dumber and we would avoid any pesky maturity or common sense.
6 of 14 | Posted by uglycutie | Posted on June 25, 2009 5:16 PM
actually im pretty sure everyone in the cast is 21+ or the majority anyways... and i work for a company that deals with the legal aspects of reality filming.. and even tho the drinking age their is 18... mtv can promote 18 year olds drinking so it actually wouldnt benefit filming in any other way...
anyways...
a ring piercing? yeah... right up there with tatooing someone's name on you...

did anyone else watch the show endurance? probably not. well its basically survivor for teenagers. jonna was on the first season. i think she won the whole thing. i hated her then and i hate her now. she was that girl who would win and then would cry about having to send people to fight for their lives on the show. i always hate those people. but yeah cj is BANGIN

Bronne reminds me of Isaac a little bit. Btw, I think Isaac is the funniest real world cast member ever, his whole speech from the Duel 2, about "I think Rachel is a real Lesbian, not those, my dad didn't pay any attention to me, so I kiss random girls in club Lesbian." still gets a chuckle out of me.

Joey is a hoot. Even though he is probably a total ass, it seems funny to me. Also, did anyone notice the line in Rihanna's boyfriend's little list of things that he loved about her that said "you cleaning me"? Huh?

Chickboooooomb! Welcome back, and I think this seasons has MUCH more promise to damage the image of young people in our country today than those snoozers in Brooklyn and their silly pranks and paeans to tampons. I'm so glad you're here to help us through it. Glad to have you back again!
love, J-Mo :)

I have decided that Joey is my favorite. And he's kinda hot in a skeevy way. Like you said, his excitement to get some "ass" didn't even bother me. I actually thought it was cute! I hope he hooks up with Jonna and wins his bet.
CJ is hot too, but he reminds me of a hotter version of the goober hillbilly from Australia. What was his name, Coda, or something? Anyhoo, my money's on him to sleep with a roommate first. Probably Emilee.

It seems to me that they took the Brooklyn casting template (token black girl, meathead jock, puerto rican gay man, etc.) and applied it to a locale that would be more amenable to drama. Not that I'm complaining... YET!

Excellent recap as always! Against my better judgment, I have started watching AGAIN, even though I swore I wouldn't. I'm almost as old as CJ, and since he's too old to be on the show, I'm probably way too old to be watching it. Allllllso.....I do not find Joey endearing; I think he is trying too hard and I find him to be a douche. But that's most likely because cocky, skinny-jeans-clad musicians are not my thang.
And why do people with the theory that they're ohhhhhhh-soooooo-in-loooooove with their significant other back home, but they can have "cuddle buddies" of the opposite sex while away because it's completely "innocent" keep showing up on these shows? Good god, it is NOT innocent. Does MTV seek these people out?!........Oh, wait. Did I really just ask that? Of course they do.
